February 12th: Violet Hill 行大運

The Fridayhikers are a group of friends who go hiking for leisure. Depending on the weather and road conditions, the hiking route may be subject to change without prior notice. Participants joining the hikes do so at their own will and at their own risk. They may consider buying their own insurance for better protection. The hike leaders, the organizers and any other participants in the hikes are exonerated from any liabilities and claims as a result of any accidents or losses arising.

 

Happy New Year Fridayhikers !

As discussed at lunch last Friday, we will go to Violet Hill this Friday in search of 吊鐘花.  We will take the Violet Hill Path from Wong Nai Chong Reservoir Park (240m) and walk to Tsin Shui Wan Au (200m) , then turn left to take the Wilson Trail up to Violet Hill (433m) and then walk down to the Parkview, returning to Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park.  This is estimated to be a 2+ hr. walk. As this is not a long walk and we can take plenty of rest on the way, let's see if the "semi-retired hikers" can come out and join the New Year hike to work off some extra calories accumulated from all that rich food (as seen from photos posted on facebook).  

Should it rain tomorrow, we can take instead, the Tai Tam Reservoir Road and walk down to the Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir and exit at Tai Tam Road.


Meeting place:  Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park  (outside the kiosk and toilets)

Meeting time:  9:15 am


To go to the meeting place, take any bus which goes along Wong Nai Chung Gap Road (6, 61, 63, 41A, etc.) and get off at the Gas Station after the tennis courts.  For bus routes, please check on the web in case there are recent changes.

Please bring water and snacks, rain gear, sun gear as usual.  Should the heavy rainstorm or thunderstorm signal be up at 8 am, the hike will automatically be cancelled.


See you all !
